"we just need to kill the economy to save the planet" doesn't seem like a productive way to sell reengineering our economy to lead us towards carbon neutrality, doomer

calls someone a doomer

doesn't want to damage economy for the sake of having a habitable planet for humans

Someone who believes Biden is the only hope for climate action doesn't need to be calling anyone else a doomer, lmao

"Look, I'd love to have a habitable planet, but have you considered the stock market?"

If you don't think a global problem that's intertwined with every aspect of the economy might require a similarly far-reaching solution, you aren't taking this seriously.

lead us towards carbon neutrality,

Jesus Christ even the things you think are the goal are woefully weak and limited. You think "carbon neutrality" will solve climate change? We need massive carbon negativity.
